[AccessD] OT: Notebook Processor

I've been buying "no name" laptops for years and much prefer them to the
name brands.  Most of them are the equivalent of the Dells and Gateways.

	By all means go with a Celeron or AMD CPU for normal to light
work loads. Saves a lot of cash!
	 
	You migth want to consider the weigh as the overall
consideration if she has to carry it much, otherwise connectivity is the
issue I look at. I have a USB hub on mine and don't use anything but the
processor when in my office. On the road its nice to not have a soar
shoulder from long hauls in the airport! More and more I'm using my
Pocket PC for everything but take along work anyway. About the only I
can't do on it is programming and typing Word documents (time for one of
those keyboard thingies I guess). For real estate maybe you might want
to look at one of those tablet jobs?
	 
	If she doesn't want to spend much you can get great deals on
reconditioned laptops. I've gotten those for people that don't want to
spend much and only do light duty with them like email and word, etc.
you can also get no-name laptops now. (Most of the big guys don't make
their own laptops anyway.)
	 
	HTH

		I have to spec a notebook for a friend.  Any big
difference between a Celeron and a P4?  This is for pretty casual use -
Word, Excel, web browsing - not a power user, just getting her real
estate license.
